Modern style sexiness. Big round flavors. This resonated with me more than the Alexana but they are both superb wines.

Superb, complicated nose of barrel toast, brown sugar, and jam compote.
Palette is sweet and consistent. Lots of cherries with hints of spice box. Firm and structured, finishing with precision. Stand-out.

One of my only three favorite #California #Pinots! Balanced, earthy, generously of black cherries and finesse.

A rustic tawny color. Nose - initial aroma of cherry and funky earth followed by a musty herbaceous, and vanilla nutmeg. Taste - elegant and juicy coating the mouth with dark cherry, pepper spice, wet earth and crushed rock. Secondary notes of orange peel, cedar and sweet currants. Is still drinking well indicating it’s aging ability. Could lay down for a few more years,

Double decant and pour(some fine/cloudy sediment). A stunning medium tawny red color. On the nose: nice funky earth, cherry, herbaceous, floral, nutmeg, cinnamon. Taste: smooth, silky, juicy mouth coating wine with some dark cherry, currants, musty cedar, pepper, wet earth, and a orange peel medium plus finish. A big pinot style that has aged well and fun to drink tonight. YUM!
